Sophie Rhodes is the newly employed medic for Manchester City and on her first day she crosses paths with a player who immediately catches her eye.
Jack Grealish.
With an intense ex who just won't quit trying to get her back and the constant niggle...
Sophie - Nope! 🧖🏼♀️ pamper night, bath and bed! Ready for our next move tomorrow. You? X
Kate - I'm bored stiff and it's taking everything I have not to text Harry! X
Sophie - Come over if you like? Plenty of face masks to go around. Just kip in with me and we can travel together tomorrow? X
Kate - Deal. I'll grab us a Dominos on the way over. Be about an hour. X
Sophie - Can't wait, call me when you're outside. X

Her phone had been on the kitchen side for less than 60 seconds before it began loudly chiming. She quickly ran back in from the lounge, cursing herself for leaving it in there in the first place.
'JG Would like to FaceTime'
Pathetically, she'd answered it immediately and Jack's slightly pixelated image filled up the screen.

''Iya Soph'
She just couldn't help but smile at his beaming face.
'Grealish.. I only left you this morning! You missing me already?'
'That I am. I'm bored when ya not around.. it's too quiet.. done my training.. I've packed.. had me food..'
It secretly pleased her that she had floated through his mind when she was absent.
'Why don't you have an early night? You're going to be non-stop soon enough.. Doctors orders..' she smiled
'Nah I'm restless Soph...'
She knew where this was going.
'Jack..' she warned, 'I've got Kate heading over shortly to catch up whilst we prep ourselves for this week'
'Mmmhmmmm' Totally not listening.
He fumbled with the phone, his face disappearing from view for a few seconds, before returning to view now obviously shirtless.
'Ya wanna help me wind down then?'
She swore he somehow had made his eyes appear bigger, more 'puppy like'.
'You're a swine Jack... you know I can't turn you down' She was annoyed at herself for being so tragically weak. But fucking look at him.
'I've never... erm... used FaceTime... for... like that before' Why was she stumbling. Embarrassing.
'I have the confidence and sex appeal of a paper bag Jack!!' she groaned
